Placing An Order

Art of Style thanks you for taking the first step toward style nirvana with your interest in purchasing from our collection.

    1. To place an order or submit an inquiry, please use the order/inquire button on the item page. Or, if you would prefer, you may submit questions or confirm availability prior to placing an order by e-mailing Art of Style at sales@artofstyle.biz and providing the item(s) name and number. Items shown are always subject to prior sale. So, if you love it, buy it now before someone else does!

    2. Payments are accepted through PayPal (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, E-Check, or PayPal Balance), wire transfer (MoneyGram, Western Union, and bank), and USPS money order. Payments must clear before merchandise will be shipped.

    3. Upon clearance of payment, each piece of jewelry ordered will be individually packaged in its own jewelry box...perfect for gift giving or safe keeping. Merchandise is shipped via signature and/or delivery confirmed, insured or registered (depending upon value of item(s)), USPS Priority mail or an alternate carrier, such as FedEx or UPS, if desired. Packages are shipped Monday through Friday, except for holidays.

    4. Art of Style accepts international orders with receipt of authorized and confirmed PayPal payment in U.S. currency only, wire transfer in U.S. currency only, or USPS money order in U.S. currency only. We reserve the right to decline an international order for any reason. Customs declarations are accurately completed in accordance with U.S. law. We do not declare purchases as being "gifts," nor do we state a value less than the actual sales price. Please note that shipping and insurance costs vary from country to country, as does duty. All additional taxes, fees, tariffs, import fees, and surcharges levied by destination countries are the responsibility of the customer. Art of Style cannot determine the amount in advance, if any, that will be charged. Please check with the customs house of your country to determine if any additional charges will be applied to your order. USPS assumes responsibility for such charges and bills the recipient accordingly. Art of Style does not receive any money from customs and import fees.

    5. U.S. orders sent via overnight delivery (e.g., USPS Express Mail, FedEx Overnight, etc.) and international orders cannot be returned; but, should you refuse the overnight shipment or refuse to pay customs charges on an incoming shipment, it will be returned to Art of Style at our expense. We will then deduct that charge as well as any other additional customs and/or shipping charges from the refund of the original purchase price and will impose an additional 30% processing charge in addition to any costs associated with processing payment whether it is the cost to send an outgoing wire transfer or fee to transact with PayPal, if applicable.

Layaway Policy and Procedure

Merchandise may be purchased through layaway. The terms are as follows:

    1. The client reserves an item, or items, for purchase by confirming availability, then submitting a payment via Paypal that is 1/3rd the purchase price, which includes actual shipping costs. Actual shipping costs will be quoted before an invoice is generated.
    2. The second installment payment of 1/3rd the purchase price is due 30 days from the date of the first installment payment.
    3. The third installment payment of 1/3rd the purchase price is due 60 days from the date of the first installment payment.
    4. Monies applied toward invoiced merchandise CANNOT subsequently be applied toward the purchase of alternate merchandise.
    5. PLEASE NOTE: The first payment must be submitted within ONE WEEK of the initial purchase request or the merchandise will be returned to inventory and relisted for sale. If partial payment has been received for merchandise and the second or third payments are not received within TEN DAYS from their respective due date, then any monies paid will be FORFEITED (i.e., the client will neither be refunded monies previously paid, nor issued any form of credit under any circumstances), and the merchandise will be relisted for sale; therefore, DO NOT PLACE ANY MERCHANDISE ON LAYAWAY THAT CANNOT BE PAID FOR IN FULL WITHIN THREE MONTHS.
    6. Merchandise purchased via layaway CANNOT be RETURNED or EXCHANGED.


Return Policy and Procedure

Art of Style wants you to be thrilled with your purchase, and we both welcome and encourage clients to request additional information regarding items of interest prior to placing their order. We pride ourselves in the great care given to accurately represent our merchandise both in picture and description. We do realize, however, that there are those rare instances when a return may be desired. And, to ensure all of our clients’ complete satisfaction, Art of Style has a return policy.

    1. With the exception of shoes and clothing (i.e., shoes and clothing can not be returned), if you wish to return an item purchased, simply contact Art of Style via email within 3 business days of delivery. **Note: Art of Style will not accept returns that have not been assigned an Art of Style return authorization number.

    2. Within 3 business days of receiving notification, Art of Style will acknowledge your return request and issue a return authorization number.

    3. Once Art of Style issues the client a return authorization number, you will have 3 business days to return the item:

    • The item must be returned via the original carrier (unless otherwise agreed in writing).
    • It must be in its original packaging.
    • It must be insured for its purchased price.
    • And, the item returned to Art of Style must be received in the same condition as it was when it was sent to the client: Art of Style tags and identifying marks intact. **Note: Items that have been damaged, sized, engraved, broken, polished, or altered in any manner cannot be returned. If merchandise is returned in altered condition, a refund will not be issued.
    • Art of Style recommends that you use signature confirmation and get a delivery receipt.
    • The buyer is responsible for both initial destination and return shipping and insurance.

    4. After Art of Style receives the return and verifies that the returned item is as originally sent, we will issue a full refund less actual shipping charges and payment processing fees via PayPal within 72 hours. If original payment was made via wire transfer, then an outgoing domestic wire transfer charge will also be assessed.

Damaged Shipment Policy and Procedure

Art of Style takes special care when packing orders to prevent damage. If, despite our most diligent efforts, a client’s shipment should arrive damaged, the following steps will need to be taken:

    1. The recipient must take the order in its entirety (i.e., all of the original packaging and damaged contents) to the local branch of the United States Postal Service where he or she will need to complete the necessary documentation required to file the claim. **DO NOT…DO NOT…DO NOT repack and mail the damaged merchandise back to Art of Style as this will void the insurance, and Art of Style will be unable to provide a refund.

    2. Once the client has taken the damaged goods to his/her local USPS branch, Art of Style should be contacted. We will then submit the necessary documentation to the United States Postal Service for the client to be refunded less shipping.
